About the Item
Kahn – Handcrafted Roman Travertine Stool by Sanna Völker, Brutalist Design Made.
Kahn is a handcrafted sculptural stool designed by Sanna Völker, the acclaimed Barcelona-based Swedish designer. Made from Roman travertine stone, this piece is a tribute to architect Louis Kahn, echoing the grandeur of ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman monuments.
Kahn embodies a powerful contrast between raw natural material and refined geometric form, blending brutalist influence with serene delicacy. Each stool is carved from a block of travertine sourced from a historic quarry opened in 1880 in the mountains of Catalonia, the same quarry that supplied stone for the angels of Gaudí’s Sagrada Família.
The piece is shaped by a fourth-generation family of master stonemasons, ensuring a deep connection between material heritage and artisanal craftsmanship. With its timeless elegance, Kahn serves equally as a functional object or collectible design sculpture—perfect for minimalist, architectural, or wabi-sabi interiors.
Designer: Sanna Völker
Sanna Völker is a Swedish designer based in Barcelona, working at the intersection of Scandinavian restraint and Mediterranean expression. Her work—shown in Milan, Paris, Cologne, and Barcelona—draws inspiration from architecture and brutalism, with a focus on natural materials, clean geometries, and timeless composition. Völker’s designs invite a quiet dialogue between rawness and refinement, reflecting a contemporary, sculptural sensibility.

Mimesis #1 by Jordi Ribaudí, Buffalo Leather Sculptural Furniture
By Jordi Ribaudí
Located in Barcelona, ES
Through the means that he knows and masters – matter, form and object – Ribaudi reflects and invites us to reflect on the relationship of the human being with the environment and on the new morality with which he intends to face the devastation of the planet.
Dressing up the language of materials, turning wood into minerals, leather into vegetables and the spectator into the animal that perceives it, the project questions the animal-centric path that this new morality has taken.
